While I'm all for developing new technology, it's not all 'win/win'.

I imagine that those ATCO jobs in those remote communities, in Sweden and elsewhere, whose airports are ripe for 'going remote', actually provide a lot of income into those communities. Jobs such as those enable skilled professionals to stay in their local communities rather than moving to the big city etc etc.

I know this is no different to any number of different industries over the years, but it should be acknowledged and handled correctly.
